This one has a story behind its name... My friend saw it, and when I started complaining about the odd Green Rod thing sticking through the middle of the tree... and he started going on, about how... well Ill let him tell it:

"(You'll have to assume this is from an RPG) The rod is someone's ultimate weapon. And it's sitting there attached to a tree in the middle of the ocean. But you can't use a boat to get it, because you'll crush the tree and send the Rod to the bottom of the ocean, then you'll never get a 100% ending. So you have to use an airship, fly it really close, then climb down a rope and grab the rod before it's too late! It would be an awesome mini-game." -Kyle

That tree is super realistic! I love how the light shines through it. But i cant say i'm a fan of the water. You said it was supposed to be an ocean right? Looks a little too calm for an ocean. Throw in some waves and stuff. it just looks like generic bryce water right now lol

hmm, but I was going for a mostly water scene...... but it looked so plain, so I stuck tree in there. then I started going for a Shadow/Reflection effect off the tree.
<_< Vue just... doesnt have the most creative water, thats all.

ok, how bout this... you have to jump down to the poll... and slap a poster on it XD. UNDER 29 seconds!

And I really dont know about the Rod. That was premade into the model I used. If you look at a lot of Vue work, you can see that trees like this arent really supost to be the center of attention. They are suspost to be flooding the scene XD.

What are you talking about? You can spazz out and swing a key around... its not hard. Now finding a duck and a dog to fuse with... that may be more difficult. Who wants a dog in them anyway? wow.. that sounded a hole lot more like bestiality then I wanted it too...

Anyway, the random poll is the tree's 'support'. its the main object, and all the leaves and stuff get assigned to it in random peaces, making a new pattern each time. it doesnt care if you see the poll or not XD. Plus... its a premade model, how the hell should i know XD.

I would so totally own that side quest. Well.. I would cheat... I would move the model closer to ME.. so I could get it... Who needs a game shark? XD
